Fabulist!

Comparing a female singer's voice to Sandy Denny's is a little like comparing a songwriter's lyrics to Bob Dylan - you might as well go on and kick them in the shins, stamp in their pudding, and knock over their Christmas tree while you're at it, for all the good it'll do them. There's just no way anyone can bear the weight of that comparison for long.

And yet. Listening to Essie Jain, Sandy Denny inevitably comes to mind. Their voices both have that purity and elegance, something bright and lovely that raises a sad song up, and glides it softly downwards, if downwards it must go.

For long, quiet nights, leading to long, quiet mornings.

Essie Jain - Glory

Essie Jain - No Mistake
